Absorbs to No Longer Prevent Daze (EDIT: APPARENTLY A BUG)

@Drezwazluz-aegwynn

I can read your post history. You reported it a week ago on the dot. And nothing before that.

This was a totally new discovery in the discords ~4 days ago.

So, again, ?..

I guess you aren’t so good at reading Jops’ post history after all.

Water Strider Discussion

Then get informed: Mount Equip buff lamely breaks on even slight falling damage. Water Strider’s does not. MANY mounts (between a third and half) are unable to go from swimming to water walking 8.2 will daze & dismount more players than ever in both the new AND the OLD zones There. Now you know that “nothing’s changed” is false.

Except forgetting will be hard. Mount equipment water walking is seriously interior to the water striders… And daze/dismount problems are being ramped up to force many of us to switch to no-daze.

Great! So you’ve been using water walking potions instead of the mount you hate, right? Because unless you’re always in TANK spec, that’s how it’s gonna be for you from now on if you don’t want to be dazed & dismounted every few feet.

Correction: Blizzard HAS ALREADY MADE anti-daze AND safe-fall necessary in the new zones being tested on the PTR. AND they’ve disabled the no-daze/dismount protection offered by other abilities (like Warlock’s [Demon Skin] talent), not just in the new zone, but in old zones on the PTR as well.

If you hate them that much, why aren’t you using water walking potions? In fact, you should start getting used to them now, because after 8.2 drops, you’re gonna need them. Why? Because you’re gonna get dismounted so hard so often that you’ll give up water walking mount equipment as fast as possible, and replace it with no-daze. So instead of ALL your mounts having water walking, or SOME. You’ll have NONE.

The only way one can “act like nothing changed” is if the changes that Blizzard is making with 8.2 are LIMITED to Najzatar/Mechagon and you never go there. If you spend any serious time in the new zones and/or if the changes coming with the new zones affect older zones… you will be dismounted so much more often that NO-DAZE will be practically mandatory until we unlock flying. And afterwards, SAFE-FALL will be needed because we’re going to get dismounted while flying a lot more often too. Wa…

Clarity please on Water Strider

They’re converting “Lifetime free” to “Next One is free”. It’s a rip off. And, as has been pointed out… if you’re doing the new zones, you will almost absolutely positively need either NO-DAZE or SAFE-FALL because of how they’ve changed things. So in a nutshell, no one doing ‘current’ outdoor pve content will have water walking equipment slotted. “One free” means nothing if it’s useless. We ‘gain’ the freedom to choose how we deal with a brand new impediment. We ‘lose’ the ability to …
